DEMO HOUR: TRing

TRing offers a novel method for bringing inter activity to objects by embedding a small magnet in them and using a finger-worn device. No time-consuming post processing is needed. Using a magnetic-sensing technique, the system tracks the user's fingertip around the embedded magnet.

TRing can thus easily replace conventional physical interface elements such as buttons and sliders. Our work will benefit HCI practitioners as well as general users who want to quickly implement a personalized physical interface without having deeper knowledge of electronic components.
